What nocturnal animal is an Australian marsupial and eats eucalyptus leaves at night?

Answer 1

The vast majority of all marsupial species are nocturnal.

The two exceptions which are truly diurnal are the numbat of Western Australia, and the musky rat-kangaroo of far North Queensland.

Answer 2

The marsupial family Dasyuridae is made up of nocturnal carnivorous marsupials. Most notably, it includes quolls and the Tasmanian Devils, but also includes tiny marsupials, like the antechinus, planigale, ningaui, kultarr, dunnart, and phascogale.

The two marsupial exceptions which are truly diurnal are the numbat of Western Australia, and the musky rat-kangaroo of far North Queensland, and neither of these is carnivorous.

Answer 3

There are many more than on this list, but here are some nocturnal marsupials:

• Tasmanian Devil
• bandicoot
• phascogale
• dunnart
• antechinus
• mulgara
• wombat
• possum
• glider
• quoll
• quokka
• rufous rat kangaroo
• bettong
• bilby
• potoroo
• antechinus

The two exceptions which are truly diurnal are the numbat of Western Australia, and the musky rat-kangaroo of far North Queensland

Answer 4

Here are all the marsupials that are both (partially or completelty) arboreal and nocturnal: All 95 opossums, the Monito del Monte, 2 marsupial shrews, 3 ningauis, 5 false antechinuses, 10 antechinuses, 21 dunnarts, the Koala (it has no regular pattern for nocturnal/diurnal), 19 out of 22 cuscuses (of the other three, two aren't nocturnal, one lives on the ground), 5 possums, the Scaly-Tailed Possum, 5 pygmy possums, the Honey Possum, 3 trioks, the Striped Possum, the Leadbeater's Possum, 6 gliders, the Greater Glider, 15 of 16 ringtail possums (the Rock-Haunting Ringtail Possum lives on the ground), the Feathertail Glider, the Feathertail Possum, and 12 tree-kangaroos.

Answer 5

It depends upon your frame of reference. You probably mean any of the following nocturnal marsupials which are not exotic to Australians, but are exotic to people in other parts of the world: * sugar glider or any other type of glider * bilby and bandicoot * dunnart * pademelon * rufous rat kangaroo * quoll * cuscus * Tasmanian devil * phascogale * antechinus

Answer 6

Most, but not all, marsupials are nocturnal, at least partially. The two exceptions which are truly diurnal are the numbat of Western Australia, and the musky rat-kangaroo of far North Queensland.

Answer 7

There are several nocturnal Australian marsupials which fit this description.

Koalas live almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus.

Greater gliders also feed almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves, but only of the subgenus Monocalyptus.

Ringtail possums are also capable of feeding almost exclusively on gum leaves, if they need to.

Wombats have also been known to feed on eucalyptus leaves.
